TRIAC is a semiconductor power electronic device which contains____________?
Correct answer: A. Two SCR's connected in reverse parallel
- A. Two SCR's connected in reverse parallel
- B. Two SCR's connected in parallel
- C. Two SCR's connected in series
- D. Two BJT's connected in series
Explanation
A TRIAC is equivalent to two SCRs connected in anti-parallel, allowing current control in both directions. Ordinary parallel or series connections do not provide this bidirectional switching action.
